Today's purple card is from the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge and is made up of the card shape itself and then the ticket shape mounted on top of the card. See below for the actual cut shown in the handbook on page 30:

I cut the card at 4-1/4" and the final dimensions of the card are 4-1/4" x 7". The ticket shaped section was cut at 4-1/4" and also at 4" so I could layer the pieces.

Inside I added some cream cardstock, a strip of coordinating paper and a stamped sentiment from Papertrey Ink. You can see all the pop dots used on the front of the card...

I extended the angel on the front so her wing peeks over the edge of the card. I did that because I knew I would have to make an envelope to fit the card due to its size, thus I could accommodate shapes extending beyond the boundaries of the card base. Below is my envelope with the front decorated.

The tag shape is also from the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge and I decorated it with another chipboard snowflake. I will be handing this card to another teacher at Christmastime so I can add dimensional items like this. I left the rest of the front blank and will add in the "to/from" later.

That is GORGEOUS!!! When you mentioned yesterday that your card would be non tradtional I would never have thought of these 2 colors together...and I so LOVE it...I really need to get that birthday bash cart too...I think it's at the top of my wish list now...

Oh my goodness this card and envie are so adorable. The more I see created with this cartridge the more I realize that I must purchase it. Each of the elements that you added are spot on. The colors are a refreshing change from the traditional colors used at Christmas. I can't wait for the next post! Thank you....Blessings,Terri D.

I love the non-traditional colors. I have Birthday Bash on pre-order and your projects are making me chomp at the bit waiting for it!! Now on my way to Paper Trey Ink to look for this stamp because I love it too.

These colors are wonderful together. I see Birthday Bash is going to have to be on my wish list. Thanks for shareing. Love the envelope also. I just got the MS scoreboard and made my very first envelop this past weekend.
